About The Bible

• We believe the Bible is God’s Word to all of humanity. It was written by humanity under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is our source for authority and beliefs. We believe the entire Word of God is truth without error (II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20-21).

About God

• We believe in one God who created and sustains the universe. He has existed for all eternity in three distinct Persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and are one. He is personal, all knowing, all-powerful, all-present, and all-good. He is both holy and love. ( Genesis 1:1, 1:26, 3:22; Exodus 3:14; Psalm 90:2; Jeremiah 10:10; Leviticus 22:2; Matthew 28:19; I Peter 1:2; II Corinthians 13:14; Deuteronomy 6:4, 32:6).

About Jesus Christ

• We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and has always existed. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus lived a sinless life. He died on the cross for our sins. He arose from the dead after three days. He ascended to heaven; and all authority has been given to Him. Our salvation is secure in His power over death and sin. He will return again to reign forever ( Isaiah 7:14, 9:6, 53:1-12; Matthew 1:18-23; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15, I Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans1:3-4; Acts1:9-11; I Timothy 6:14-15; Titus 2:13).

About The Holy Spirit

• We believe the Holy Spirit is coequal with God and has always existed. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. He is present in the lives of those who are followers of Christ. He brings salvation a new life. The Holy Spirit dwells in every believer from the moment of salvation. He provides assurance, power, direction, guidance, conviction, and service. The Holy Spirit imparts spiritual gifts to believers for the purpose of equipping them to serve on another. Every Christian lives under the daily leadership of the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:2; Judges 14:6; II Corinthians 3:17, John 16:7-13; John 14:16-17, 26; Acts 1:8, I Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18).

About Humanity

• We believe men and women are created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him. Humanity is the supreme and crowning work of God’s creation. However, humanity has turned from God toward sin. This sinful disobedience separates us from God and causes problems with other people. The final result of sin is spiritual death and eternal separation from God (Genesis 1:26-30, 2:5; Isaiah 6:5; Psalm 32:1-5; Jeremiah 17:5; Matthew 16:26; Acts 17:26-31; Romans 1:19-32; Romans7:14-25; Romans 8:14-18; 1 Corinthians 1:21-31; Ephesians 2:1-22, 3:9-11).

About Salvation

• We believe that salvation only comes through the shed of blood of Jesus Christ on the cross. Christ died on the cross for all sins for all people. Jesus Christ is the only way people can restore their broken relationship with God and receive salvation. Salvation is a free gift from God; though it is free, we must accept it. We cannot earn or merit our salvation. When a person repents (turns from sin) and believes (turns to God) in Jesus Christ, they are converted and receive salvation and a new life. Salvation restores our relationship with God (justification), moves us to become like Christ (sanctification), and finalizing its purpose when we are made like Christ at death or His Second Coming (glorification). Salvation is best viewed as a process in time, not a point in time. Salvation is only by the grace and power of God, not by our efforts as Christians. Therefore, we can never lose the gift of salvation (Romans 3:23, 5:8, 6:23, 10:9-10, 10:13; Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; Galatians 3:26; John 10:29; Hebrews 7:25; 10:10-14; I Peter 1:3-5; II Timothy 1:12; Titus 3:5).
